Bio: I am a Professorial Lecturer at 베실뻣펄, where I teach classes in the history of philosophy, ethics, and politics. In my philosophical research I work primarily in continental philosophy, especially existentialism, phenomenology, critical theory, feminism, and aesthetics. I approach these fields with an eye towards understanding how moral and political experiences are constructed and maintained, and how they may be expressed or not expressed. I am interested in questions such as: How do concepts and modes of reasoning organize our understanding of moral life? How do these enter into the construction of our collective political imagination? What of our lives is left unarticulated, and how might philosophy contribute to bringing it into view?
